Tank watch:
Spurs vs Pelicans. Zion should cook against Bismack and Barnes.
Suns vs Grizzlies. Go Suns. Right the ship, dipships.
Celtics vs Raptors. Praying Scottie Barnes pulls off a miracle here.
Lakers vs Mavericks. Pure Chaos. Neither team really affects us, but I hope the Lakers lose by a million and Max Christie breaks Wilt's single game record.
Spurs lost to the 2nd worst team in the league, Suns unsurprisingly lost against... this time in OT. Raptors didn't pull off the upset.
Spurs are at 9th in the tank, moving below Portland.
Tank Watch 2/26
Raptors vs Pacers.. need Toronto to pull off the upset on the 2nd night of a BtB.
76ers vs Knicks. Need the 76ers to win, but they are the most pathetic franchise in the league.
Blazers vs Wizards, this should be easy for Portland... should be.
OKC vs Brooklyn. Go Nets. Punish yourself for not selling Cam Johnson for pennies on the dollar.
Hawks vs Heat: Need Miami to win.
Clippers vs Bulls: Need Chicago to win and Kawhi and Harden to lose. Come on Zach Collins, do something amazing.
Spurs vs Rockets. GoRocketsGo?
Spurs games up on other teams:
Bulls 2
Nets 3.5
76ers 4.5
RaptoYesrs 7
Spurs. Raptors, 76ers, Bulls and Nets all lost, but the Blazers won and the Hawks lost.
With the Hawks loss, they dropped to 9th, but they are 5.5 games above 11th and 4 games above the Bulls at 10th. That moved them from 15th (playoff) to 11th worst, with a ~9% shot at top 4. Hawks are 1 game up on Portland for 10th.
Suns are half game above Atlanta and they play the Pelicans, so maybe Durant will decide to not suck. Also, Houston owns the Suns picks, so benefits us for the Suns to make the playoffs.
Atlanta at 11th and us at 9th gives us about a 30% shot at top 4.
Hawks +2 (5-5 last 10)
Blazers +1 (6-4 last 10)
Spurs 0
Bulls -2
Nets -3.5
76ers -4.5 (lost 9 straight)
Raptors -7
Suns lost because they are completely pathetic.
Embiid is officially out for the season.... so Philly probably tanks? Or they improve without his pathetic foul merchant ass. IDK.
Hawks +2 (5-5 last 10)
Suns +2
Blazers +1 (6-4 last 10)
Spurs 0
Bulls -2
Nets -3.5
76ers -4.5 (lost 9 straight)
Raptors -7
Hawks vs OKC - Go Thunder.
Blazers vs Nets. Would prefer Nets win here, but think Blazers win. Nets wins are harder to come by and we need them more.
Raptors vs Bulls. We have more ground to make up on the Raptors, but the Bulls are more likely to pass. I would rather the Raptors win. Gun for that 5th seed.
Pelicans vs Suns. Suns need to win at some point. Get back above Atlanta.

Tank Watch 3/3
Spurs are still 9th with 20% chance at top 4 pick and 51% chance at 9th
Blazers choked away a double-digit lead to drop half a game behind Atlanta.
Hawks are 11th with a 9.4% shot at a top 4 pick and a 78% shot at 11th.
Tonight's games:
Blazers vs 76ers. Could go either way. More likely scenario is the 76ers tank to bottom five, so Blazers being above the Hawks helps us. But if we think we can get below the 76ers, we take every win we possibly can here.
Wizards vs Heat. Heat are only 1.5 games above Atlanta.
Hawks vs Grizzlies.
Suns +2
Hawks +1.5
Blazers +1
Spurs 0
Bulls -2
76ers -4
Nets -4.5
Raptors -8
****in Grizzlies man. They were up and had turnovers on their last four possessions including with a tie game and 3 seconds left to lose to the Hawks. **** them.
Spurs are still 9th with 20% chance at top 4 pick and 51% chance at 9th
Hawks are tied with Phoenix for 11th, splitting the 11th and 12th odds for about 8% chance at top 4
